Sid Cavill, an Australian swimmer now visiting San Francisco, has settled the ques- tion as to the alleged pugns of the sea lions that have since the city was founded been the objects of interest to the inhabit- anis and visitors from all parts of the | world. The seal rocks are just outside the entrance to Golden Gate and about 20) yards from the Cf House. While watching a herd from Sutro baths Cavill offered the opinion to some companions that the bellow- ing, tusky brutes basking on the rocks weré coyotes when it came to a fight, and offered to wager an eagle he could put the entire herd to flight. The wager was made, and Cavill arranged for a swim. Just before the start was made for the fight if he found anything lke truculence dee str up. A few loungefs on the Cliff House balcony glanced listlessly down at the little Sroup on the sands. Five minutes later their listlessness was gone. ‘They were eagerly gazing seaward and enjoying a spectacle never excelled in noveity in this city. As Cavill clambered over the rocks that jut about 100 yards from ihe rear of the bath house he was shivering. When he ached the point of the natural pler a well was breaking upon its base and rs of spray were hurled upward, hing the man and occasionally hidinz him entirely from the people on the beach. Waiting until an exceptionally high roller Was within leaping distance, he raised his clasped hands and sprang out and upward and disappeared beneath the foaming wave. He dived clear through the breaker, and, reappearing in comparatively smooth w swam ewiftly toward seal rocks. minutes and five seconds he bling upon the small reef, ly distin- Suishable at high tide, that lies fairly among the seal group. All the lary “ks were swarming with sea lions. an un- y movement among the monsters as the swimmer neared them. The polygamous sires raised their hea and craned their necks to stare at the aj proaching intruder, and then turned to their several wives and numerous progeny to teil them something that clicited clangorous re- sponse. But that conversation was genile murmur in comparison with the noise ma when the strange thing climbed from the water and walked toward them. Then he- gan a very babel and most unceremonio: retreat. The sire: bellowed lik d discordantly and s. while the wives and mothers bleated disconsolately, the juvenil emitted dismal whinnies, and all fled helter- skelter, pell-mell, shuffling and crawling ward the cliff and tumbled over it as if they were so many lumps of inanimate Dlubber. Such an uproar was never heara nor was such a stampede ever witn since that barren rock became a seal ro In on» minute from the time of Cavil landing he was monarch of all he surveyed, and had not been touched by a seal. An expression of mingled Satisfaction and contempt illumined the face of the returned explorer as a monster billow bundled him upon the beach at the feet of his admiring friends. “I knew the blooming beasts would ait for an interview, much less attack ‘he said. “They are like a lot of rep. Call them a iions! Sea wld be a better fitting name. Buy I'm not yet satisfied. I'l go back and clean off that flat rock.” And he did. As he neared the rock there was a repeti- tion of the sounds and scenes that had her- alded his approach to its loftiest neighbor, only this time the noise and shuffling w enhanced in proportion to the numeric: strength of the population. So thickly was the crag studded with seals they could not Ket to sea without tedious waiting or scrambling over each other, and they unan- imously adopted the latter alternative. A. regular cataract of poured over three sides of the rock, but Cavill had not ad- vanced half a dozen steps inshore when he found himself and ong large brown animal which was lying upon an outspur the only inhabitants of Adamant Island. The beast was motionless, and the man stood stock still 4 minute or so and looked at it. Then he cantiously crept out to where it lay and delivered a straight right punch in its boggy side. The result was startling. With a roar of alarm the brute sprang forward and am- bled overboard. wa. Se If you want work read the want columns be Star. a A Successful Scheme. Frem Life.

The picturesque character ef the cam- paign there and the intense personal in- fluences arrayed against one another had pretty well blinded the general public, which chiefly constitutes election crowds, to the voting in other states. Naturally there were scores in the throngs who had in other states and the ai s, and who even watched eagerly for bulletins announcing votes in small towns, but the masses, if indication, were desirous only in ascertaining how things were going in New York. The Denr Girls Wanted Teddy. The feminine constituency of the crowds ~and it was a big slice of them, too—was Roosevelt to a ruching, The men who in- clined to the Van Wyck side of the que tion were instantly smothered out with scornful exclamations be with their such a leaning. if they happened to women folks and hinted at The idea!” ejaculated a peach-cheeked girl, when her escort confidently expressed the opinion that Van Wyck would win. “Why, I'm ‘tonished at you.

Where the Big Crowds Came. As usual, the arrangements for conveying the very lat¢st atid most reliable information to the multituge, were perfect at The Star office, and 2He: appreciation ofthis patent fact was iMustrated-by the several acres of massed humanity which packed every part of the space in the vicinity within seeing or hearing distance of The Star building. The two mgritioth screens had! been so ars ranged that thé news displayed upon them could be read fora long distance up and down the avenue, and the crowd extended from 10th to’ 12th’ street, banked into one solid mass, filling up the broad expanse in front of the new city post office until mov- ing was next to tmpossible. The electric cars were kept running, but ft Was no’ easy task to engineer them through the crush, and the constant clang- ing of their big bells added to the uproar and confusion. Notwithstanding the fact that The Star : 3 had been placed at such angles that they could be seen from a distance of hundreds of yards, there were still lots of people on the edges of the crowd who could not get a satisfactory view of the screen. For such as these the megaphone was an unmixed blessing. One of these was placed on the balcony of The Star building in such a Way as to command the thoroughfares to the east and gave the people in that direc- tion the news that had just come in hot over the wires. It seemed remarkable that the human voice could be heard so dig- tinctly above the conglomeration of sounds that filled the streets, yet such the case. When the results from a distant ate were spoken into the mouthpiece of the huge contrivance they could be clearly understood at a long distance. News Matters and Attractions.

HEADQUARTERS CROWDED. me it Committé Hooms of Both Parties Mttralt the Partisans. Both the repfiblican and democratic con- gressionalsheadquarters were visited by a large numberof people last night. All the #rtor# on the second floor of the Normandie wete thrown open for the re- ception of guests of the republican con- gressional committee. A couple of hundred of invitations had been sent out, and among those who came to hear the returns were many ladies, Mrs. Babcock being present. Among others who called at the headquar- ters during the evening were Commission- ers Wight and Beach, Capt. A. A. Thomas, Postmaster General Smith, A. T. Britton, Major Sylvester, B. H..Warner, H. Clay Evans, commissioner of pensions: Assistant Secretary of the Naty “Allen, Gen. John B. Cotton, Dr. Z. T. Sowers, Charles D. Wal- eott, director of the geological surv Louis ‘I. Michener and ex-Representative Hazelton. Throughout ‘the evening Chairman Bab- cock received and read the returns to th assemblage of republicans, and figured the probable outcome of the election in, New York, It was generally believed that Roosevelt would have ® majority of 40,9v0, until late In the evening, when the returns became very complete and it was seen that the majority was smaller. Election returns were very late in coming in, so that no sat- = isfactory estimate could be made on the complexion of the House. About 11 o'clock a buffet lunch was served in the dining room of the Normandie. The anxious watchers remained until long after midnight. : | First Important News. ‘The first important news received con- ccvning congressional elections was that H. C. Smith of Adrian, Mich., was’ proba- bly elected. This was contained in a tele- gram from Wm. B. Thompson. The second district of Michigan was regarded by the re- publicans as the most doubtful district oft the state, so that the election of Smith, if it should be verified, will be in the nature of] |, a clear gain where nothing was looked for. Up to 9:30 o'clock dispatches indicated the election of about a of congressmen, though with the xception of the second | Michigan district these returns were what were generally expected.

Democratic Gathering Point. The headquarters of the democratic con- gressional committee, 712 13th street, was the gathering point for a large throng of democrats who, finding little on the news- paper screens to encourage them, sought consolation there. At no time during the evening the enthusiasm marked, not even when about 11 o'clock Secretary Kerr of the committee announced that returns received by him up to that hour indicated in of 36 in the House of Representa- for the democrats.
